Maraana in 2024

... that Adam Maraana (pictured), who is an Arab-Israeli, will compete in swimming for Israel at the 2024 Summer Olympics?

Comment: Nominating this on behalf of an IP editor, who will (as usual) provide the QPQ. ALT0 may seem mundane, but it's not usual for Arab-Israelis to compete for Israel at the Olympics. Neither is it well known that many Israeli citizens are Arabs.

My preference would be for this hook to run on 28 July, when the heats and semifinals in 100 m backstroke will be held. Problem is that we have three Olympic hooks for that date already. Given that he's quite good, there is a chance that he'll make the final on 29 July. Hence let's take the gamble and go for that day.

Dumelow has approved the draft article. Do you also want to do the review, given that you are now familiar with the content?

Hi, thanks for the offer but think it best that someone else review it for DYK, another set of eyes on an article is always valuable - Dumelow (talk) 06:31, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

I like ALT0. In the event that the following is preferred, however, I offer it for consideration as ALT1:

ALT1 ... that Adam Maraana (pictured), an Arab-Israeli who will compete in swimming for Israel at the 2024 Paris Olympics, cried on the podium when he heard the Israeli national anthem?

Source:"And when you stand on the podium and hear the national anthem, how do you feel? "When I stood up, tears fell from my eyes. At the multi-nation competition where I was first on the podium, I took the flag and held it tight, I sang the national anthem with pride and said it was the craziest moment in my life"

As to timing, I would suggest running it on 27 July, if we cannot do so on 28 July, as that provides certainty that readers can see it before he competes. 2603:7000:2101:AA00:C039:9FFC:332E:C66 (talk) 12:51, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

This is supposed to be promoted soon, so it would be good if someone could take on the review. Schwede 66 08:54, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
